And your friend is right. Just put the litter box in the tub, then after a few days, set it next to the tub, then keep moving it until you have it where you want it. I have trained many cats to go outside by putting their litter box outside. Always keep the box clean. Cats will not use a really dirty litter box. Another good solution for keeping them from using things that you don't want them to, like the tub or a plant, is to put little containers of water where they will land if they jump in. Cats hate to get wet. You could also try keeping the bathroom door shut once you have gotten him moved out of there by gradually moving the litter box to its proper place. One other thing. You don't say where the normal place for the litter box is. Cats are at their most vulnerable when going potty. If he doesn't feel safe in the box, if it is super exposed to traffic, etc. he may not want to use it. Always keep the box in a semi private or private place. Cats are sooo easy to train.
